PRINCE GEORGE — Local Mounties arrested an erratic driver on Tuesday.

Prince George RCMP Cst. Jennifer Cooper says it all started at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday when police received multiple 9-1-1 calls from concerned motorists about an erratic driver. The vehicle was a green Dodge Dakota and the driver was female.

The first witness saw the vehicle on Queensway and followed it onto 1st Avenue where it almost hit several vehicles before turning onto Carney Street where it swerved over the road at irregular speeds.

The Dakota continued onto Range Road where it collided with a parked vehicle. The pursuit continued on to Highway 16 near Cowart Road where it cut off a chip truck and was not able to stay in its own lane.

Investigators later released the driver from custody with a future court date. The driver is known to police.
